Dean and I went to a masquerade ball. It was fun dressing up.....
with pretty shoes too...
I tend to be one that would rather have a pretty yard than a pretty dress but it sure is fun to dress up from time to time....
Dean. Just in case you are reading this, I have a blue dress that needs to be worn somewhere too!!!!
I'm back in the blogging saddle and have a lot to catch up on. I guess June will be the month to do just that. I'll be posting a LOT so my family can see what we've been up to.
For May's craft along challenge, I made this Gnome and Toadstool wreath:
I had been wanting to make another little gnomey wreath for my front door. I dug around in my stash and found everything I needed....some of the toadstools were ones I made last year for Christmas. I made the flowers using hot glue and ribbon.
This gnome takes center stage:
So they are needles this time around. But the thing is....this book ROCKS!
This book is so fast paced that I have to force myself to put it down. If you like Jurassic Park...run, don't walk to go get it.....
Once again.....I find myself cracking up at the various pictures of Osa I take during the week...
Let's begin at the "end" since it is Friday....corgibutt....just too cute for words!
an afternoon "hello" from when I get home from work....
the random "drumstick" pose she does so often!
her "first kill"....hahahaha! Batty lasted the last month of Mojo's life and the first two months we had Osa so it was pretty loved before she killed him.
And my favorite of the week. Osa let me know in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that she despised this harness!
Have a great weekend!
This just in....as in seriously. I got these in just under today's deadline!
30 yellow solid granny squares for April! yay! I was so busy I didn't think I'd make it...but I did.
While I was in Florida, I bought some "legong" yarn by Mango Moon. It is like the "chakra" yarn I used last month. This yarn is pretty neat. Recycled silk. In black and gold with little gold beads and charms on it.
Once worked up, it resembles the other Mango Moon scarves. I love it. It is sort of a cross between a thin scarf and a necklace. The pattern is so simple which makes it perfect for a beginning knitter.
Perfect for SAINTS games....so this one is mine!
I don't know WHERE the pattern came from but here it is:
Cast on 8 stitches (I did 9)
Knit almost to the end of all the yarn
Drop first 2 stitches, bind off next 5, drop last 2 stitches.
Pull the side two stitches out on the ends of each row and tie loops together. I did NOT tie the loops together, I liked it dangling more.
That is IT. took no time at all. The hardest part is untangling the edge stitches because of the beads!
Enjoy!!!
I hate leaving Osa alone for hours at a time. Mo and Ginger had one another, and the cats.....but Osa is pretty much on her own. The cats are trying but still haven't warmed up to her.
I was looking for a treat dispenser at the store but didn't like any of them so I found this idea on pinterest:
Genious! Pure and simple. Use an exacto knife to cut a hole slightly larger than the treat. Then fill it up and set it down. Osa LOVES it. I put an entire meal into the ball, along with a few soft dog treats.
